06 heated seat - control module

I have traced my non working heated seats back to the control module and opened it up (its really just a small motherboard like you see in a pc. One tooth on it where the wires plug into it is black/grayish and the wire box part has a smoky brown stain on it where they connect. So anyway my question is where can I buy a new motherboard or maybe get this one fixed so I dont have to pay $500 bucks for a "Dealer item"? Also Im wondering if i wrap tin foil around it if work?

Tin/aluminium foil is a conductive
metal and should never come near
any type of electrical circuits. http://

....... delete the spaces, I have never
made a purchase from this site but
hoefully it will help.

I hadn't looked closely at the pic until
just now. I was thinking if they made
the passenger and driver side
modules into one there would be two
identical plugs, one for each side and
you could switch them and at least
get the one side working but that's
not the case. Every single part inside
that module is available at a radio
shack and if you can figure out
which piece is bad then you could
cold solder a new one in. You may
even be able to go to local computer
repair places and see if they can fix
it. All it is is a simple motherboard. A
continuity test will show which piece
is bad and it should be easy for they
place to repair it. Shouldn't run much
more than $50-$100 at the very
most depending on where you live.

Bought the car used this past summer; heated seats don't work. I know the simple cause would be a bad fuse or relay; but I've only found the large fuse box under the hood so far - and nothing is labe...
